Can't view Acronis TIB archives

I use Acronis True Image backup, and it creates archives with the TIB file extension.

Normally, if I want to view and/or restore a file from the TIB archive, it is just a matter of double-clicking on the TIB file and it opens the archive file in Win Explorer.

When I use XYplorer, I can navigate the backup drive right up to the point where I find the TIB file, but then clicking on it, opens Win Explorer, instead of using XYplorer. Even if I use 'open with' and set the program to XYplorer, it does not open in XP - actually, it does nothing at all.. not even opening in Win Explorer any more.

Wish: Please add support for Acronis TIB archives. Thanks!

I don't run Acronis myself, but at a guess Acronis may be using something called a shell namespace for TIB preview. If so, there's a problem in that XYplorer doesn't yet support shell namespaces. It's listed as Support for Non-Drive Devices on the roadmap.
